One of my favourite cookies for the holidays (or for any time for that matter) has to be these gingersnap cookies! The ginger and molasses flavour combo works so well in cookie form creating some cookies that are so addictively good! These ginger cookies could not be easier to make, you just need to mix the spices, including the ginger, cinnamon and cloves into the flour, mix the sugar, butter, molasses and egg, combine, roll into balls, roll in a coarse sugar and bake for a few minutes and then you are in a gingery heaven just before the ginger coma sets in! The balls flatten as they bake with the edges getting nice and crispy while leaving the centres nice and soft and chewy and the sugar coating adds an amazing crunch to the cookies! If you only bake one cookie for the holidays, you can't go wrong with these gingersnap cookies!

Nice and crispy on the edges and soft and chewy on the insides with the added crunch from the sugar!

thanks for dropping by. i've actually been a long-time lurker--discovered your blog when i was feeling nostalgic about our trip to greece last summer. your blog came up in many of my google searches--love your content!

I made these this weekend and they turned out delicious. The only thing I will do differently next time is cook them for a minute longer to get a slightly crunchier texture. The ginger flavor was highlighted so well in these cookies!

I'm making these cookies right now! :D..but they aren't coming out as orangy as yours.. they smell really good but the color isn't the same.. I did omit the crystallized ginger, so I am not sure if that's the reason for the difference in color.. mine look light brown, not orangy .. do you have any ideas of why the difference in color?? is it because of the crystallized ginger omition??

Crazy I just made these cookies and even blogged about it, however my cookies look like completely different cookies even though i used the same recipe that u used for yours. your cookies look more like ginger SNAPS whereas mine look like ginger PUFFS. only change i made to my recipe was i added white chocolate chips. Goes to show that different bakers have different styles which lead to different results even if your using the same recipe

I was looking for a recipe and came across your site. This site is great! I made the cookies for my kids and the LOVED them. I have already bookmarked you. Thanks for the hard work! cooking with emotions

I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.
